Trainer’s Tip: Bringing Training to Life

Rich Lucas shares his top tips on invigorating employee training.

---

Here are some ideas:

Put it into English – presumably you’re not handing out a policy document and reading through it with your delegates. If you are, change this to a powerpoint / flip chart presentation.

Create handouts that cover the key aspects of the policy documents without the jargon that will kill a live brain within five minutes! I have a few examples of this if you or anyone wants them. E-mail me through my profile if you do.

Ask your delegates questions rather than talk at them.

Pictionary – you can use this game as a fun way to refresh on events. Of course, you’d need to keep a hold on it to ensure there are no incorrect details, but this is a fun, memorable way to interact. The key is using it as a refresher.

Presentation – you can get your delegates to present what you’ve just taught back to the group. Ask different people to present different aspects of the policy.

Make it relevant – use props such as dolls’ houses or toy cars to illustrate the events, then directly relate it back to the documents.
